This was our last time to see the babe before he is actually here. He is head down facing my back, so we did not get to see his little face. His brain, active heart, legs and arms look great though. We already knew that he favored my right side, and we figured out that his "Cirque De Sole" hour in the evening is his sweet little bottom and legs rolling around. The only clear picture that the sonotician gave us was a picture of his genitals - ha! Such a proud moment for Derek :)
For me, sleeping is getting more and more uncomfortable every night. I can't even get comfortable on my side. I probably get about 2 hours of consecutive sleep before waking up and trying to get comfy again. In addition, this was the worst week of swelling for me since my trip to San Francisco in March. On Wednesday my feet were so bad that I convinced Derek to go with me to my little hole in the wall "Beijing Foot Massage". Yes, it is exactly how it sounds. A little Chinese family runs the business, and nobody speaks English. However, they give the best massages ever, and just for $30 an hour!! Afterwards my masseuse kept pointing at my feet and making a big circle with her hands. I was pointing at my belly and kept trying to say it was because of the baby. I clearly know that my feet and ankles are swollen ....THAT IS WHY I AM HERE!! Everything finally went down last night, and today I didn't have any swelling - Hallelujah
